One hunts strength.
One fades the crowd.
Both study the same market — from different sides of the tape.
About the Show
Most podcasts talk about the market.
This one lives it.
Markets Unscripted brings together two traders who approach the same world from opposite sides — and still end up finding truth in the same place.
Each episode cuts through noise, narrative, and prediction to uncover what’s actually moving markets — the behaviour, psychology, and structure underneath price.
Matt Caruso hunts leadership and strength — finding the stocks and sectors that define every bull market.
Matt is a market professional known for his unshakable optimism, disciplined execution, and deep knowledge of growth investing. He gained national attention for his 346% return in the 2020 U.S. Investing Championship.
Matt’s background as a market maker and former finance professor allows him to bridge the gap between theory and action. His work has been featured in Fox Business, Investor’s Business Daily, and Business Insider.
Jason Shapiro, featured in The Market Wizards, watches positioning and sentiment — waiting for the crowd to go too far before taking the other side.
A hedge fund manager with a contrarian edge, Jason is best known for being featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards. His success comes from fading crowded trades and speculator sentiment using the Crowded Market Report (CMR) — a data-driven system he developed and still uses today.
With over two decades of experience across equities, currencies, futures, and metals, he brings a rare perspective few traders get access to.
Why It's Different
No scripts. No agendas. Just real and honest conversations.
Just two traders with skin in the game, comparing notes in real time — about what’s working, what’s failing, and why the crowd always seems late.
Markets Unscripted isn’t about forecasts — it’s about understanding the crowd before it understands itself.
